| Heater Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Air Heater | Air heaters are used to heat air. This category includes forced air products and all types of radiant and space heaters. | ||
| Band Heater | Band heaters are ring-shaped heaters that clamp onto a cylindrical object and heat via conductive heat transfer. | ||
| Coil Heater and Cable Heater | Coil heaters and cable heaters are heating elements formed from straight (uncoiled) segments of round or square heating cable. | ||
| Cartridge Heater | Cartridge heaters are cylindrical heaters that are inserted into a heated substance. | ||
| Cast-In Heater | Cast-in heaters are made-to-order tubular or wire heaters that are cast into a part. These parts are designed to be an integral component of a larger piece of equipment. | ||
| Ceramic Fiber Heater | Ceramic fiber heaters are only used for radiant heat transfer. They are not designed for conduction heating applications. | ||
| Circulation Heater | Circulation heaters are used to heat moving or circulating fluids. | ||
| Drum Heater | Drum heaters are used to heat cylindrical containers of viscous materials. They either clamp onto the outside diameter of the drum, or are inserted directly into the material to be heated within the drum. | ||
| Duct Heater | Duct heaters are used to heat streams of moving gas. | ||
| Enclosure Heater | Enclosure heaters are designed for use within enclosures. They prevent freezing and provide protection and humidity control. | ||
| Flexible Heater | Flexible heaters can be molded to the shape of a heated object. | ||
| Forced Air Heater | Forced air heaters use forced convection to move air past a heat source with a fan or blower. | ||
| Heat Torch | Heat torches are forced-process air heaters. They are used in applications that require modest amounts of focused air. | ||
| Immersion Heater | Immersion heaters are used in applications where it is necessary to immerse a heater in the substance being heated. Flange and screw-plug varieties are easy to use and quick to install. | ||
| Induction Heater | Induction heaters use an electrical source to drive alternating current (AC) through a coil to heat metal objects. | ||
| Infrared Heater | Infrared heaters use current flowing through resistive elements to produce electromagnetic waves in the infrared (IR) spectrum. These waves may be reflected onto the material to be heated, or may use a panel to evenly distribute the heating waves. The IR waves heat the object or material in the path. Note that the object is heated directly by the IR waves instead of the surrounding air. | ||
| Over-the-Side Heater | Over-the-side heaters are immersion heaters that hang over the side of a tank of heated material. | ||
| Radiant Flat Panel Heater | Radiant flat panel heaters are used to heat objects via radiant heat transfer. | ||
| Radiant Reflective Process Heater | Radiant heaters use a reflective shield to direct radiant heat onto a heated surface. | ||
| Radiant Heater Element | Radiant heater elements are used with radiant flat panel and radiant reflective heaters. | ||
| Radiator | Radiators have coils that contain heated, circulated media such as oil, hot water, or steam. | ||
| Room / Space Heater | Room and space heaters are used to heat rooms, garages, and other areas that workers use. | ||
| Steam Injection Heater | Steam injection heaters inject steam into a system to maintain or raise temperature levels. | ||
| Strip Heater | Strip heaters are flat heaters that can be bolted, clamped or stuck to a solid surface for freeze protection, humidity control, food warming and other applications. They are available in both plain and finned designs. | ||
| Tubular Heater | Tubular heaters are used in custom heating applications. Base (tubular) heating elements can be bent into standard or custom shapes. | ||
| Water Heater | Water heaters are gas, oil or electric-fired devices that heat water for residential and commercial use. | ||
| Specialty / Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary heaters. | ||

Insulation
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Insulation Options | Heater insulation reduces heat loss to the environment. Some heaters may be available with multiple insulation options. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| No Insulation | Heaters do not have insulation. They have a lower profile and are useful in areas where space is at a premium, but are not particularly energy efficient. | ||
| Ceramic Insulation | Heaters have ceramic insulation. Ceramics consist of nonmetallic minerals, such as clay, that are permanently hardened by high-temperature firing. Most ceramics resist heat and chemicals. | ||
| Magnesium Oxide | Heaters have magnesium oxide insulation. | ||
| Mica Insulation | Heaters have mica insulation. Mica consists of colored or transparent mineral silicates that are crystallized in monoclinic forms and readily separated into very thin leaves. Mica is valued for its electrical insulating properties and resistance to heat and acids. | ||
| Mineral Insulation | Heaters have mineral insulation. | ||
| Fluoropolymer (Teflon®) | Heaters have fluropolymer insulation made of materials such as Teflon® (DuPont). | ||
| Fiberglass Insulation | Heaters have fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass is strong, durable, and impervious to many caustics and extreme temperatures. Fiberglass fabrics are used widely in industry. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary insulation options. | ||
